Australian Crawl and Men At Work will share the stage for the first time in more than four decades, with Brisbane and Melbourne added to the 2026 Red Hot Summer Tour.

Men At Work built their following at Melbourne's Cricketers Arms Hotel before conquering the world. Today, the Richmond pub's own website celebrates its history without mentioning the band that began its journey there.

Colin Hay will lead the current Men At Work line-up with four additional Australian tour dates in October and November, marking 45 years since the release of the band's landmark debut album, Business As Usual.

The Red Hot Summer Tour has recorded another sell-out, with the Hunter Valley event at Roche Estate reaching capacity as demand continues for Australian Crawl's first official performances in 40 years and a rare reunion with Men At Work.

The 2026 Red Hot Summer Tour has added two more sold out events, with Berry Showground in New South Wales and Sandalford Wines in Western Australia's Swan Valley now reaching capacity ahead of the national tour.

Colin Hay celebrated his 73rd birthday with a deeply personal solo performance at Melbourne Recital Centre, delivering two hours of songs and stories that felt less like a concert and more like an intimate gathering with old friends.

Australian Crawl's first performances under the band's original name in 40 years have helped drive extraordinary demand for the 2026 Red Hot Summer Tour, with the Mornington Racecourse show selling out within minutes of tickets going on sale.
